Radio Paradise (mobile)

He's keeping busy
Yeah he's bleeding stones
With his machinations and his palindromes
It was anything but hear the voice
anything but hear the voice
It was anything but hear the voice
That says that we're all basically alone
Poor Professor Pynchon had only good intentions
When he put his Bunsen burners all away
And turning to a playground in a Petri dish
Where single cells would swing their fists
At anything that looks like easy prey
In this nature show that rages every day
It was then he heard his intuition say
We were all basically alone
And despite what all his studies had shown
That what's mistaken for closeness
Is just a case for mitosis
And why do some show no mercy
While others are painfully shy
Tell me doctor can you quantify
He just wants to know the reason, the reason why
Why do they congregate in groups of four
Scatter like a billion spores
And let the wind just carry them away?
How can kids be so mean?
Our famous doctor tried to glean
As he went home at the end of the day
In this nature show that rages every day
It was then he heard his intuition say
We were all basically alone
Despite what all his studies had shown
That what's mistaken for closeness
Is just a case of mitosis
Sure fatal doses of malcontent through osmosis
And why do some show no mercy
While others are painfully shy
Tell me doctor, can you quantify?
The reason why

It may be cleaner than analog FM because the noise floor is quite low, but it is unlistenable on anything but a car radio. With the cost of storage currently at 3x10^^-09 cents/bit it makes sense to only save WAV files or lossless compresed files. Just be aware WMA Lossles is a proprietary CODEC and will only play back on a very few media servers (but will play basically any computer) The trend in the audiophile community is toward FLAC, which is a lossless format that is compressed—saving space—and expanded only when played.

cohifi Nov 27, 2011 - 23:53	Cool ! I'll jump in and share that from my experience with listening to streaming music and such, it is amazing to me how good RP sounds compared to the usual mp3, ACC, FLAC, uncompressed stuff, etc. that being said, it is also most inconvenient for the casual music listener to find a better source of music than what Radio Paradise can do. Rock On RP! [ Reply ]
